PC happy portrayal of women on subs
Depicts SEALS as savage, Rambo-types
NATO now has observation posts in the Pacific?..World wide government propaganda...NATO are the good guys..US military are bad..a conspiracy to have a false LAUNCH order sent, and then, on top of it...to signal another US sub to take out a sister boat...there is soooo much wrong with that..so completely improbable
Oh yeah, the missile that the US sub launches from waay down under is over DC in 3 minutes?..Hello?
The bombers are 10 minutes out when detected..yet the captain and crew manage to get back to the boat, from a far distance...and sumberge, and launch...and of course..you can't dive..let alone launch missile, from a lagoon..
I could go on..but why bother..it's pure crapola..hope it gets cancelled in a few weeks..
Well... it's TV, not real life.
If they portrayed everything to satisfy your list of complaints.... no one would watch it.
I dunno.
I watched the show with an eye for the liberal slant and didn’t see much of it at all.
The woman on the sub is portrayed as being green.
The Seals have alternate orders and are portrayed as dedicated.
The NATO post came across as laid back. I didn’t see the US military being portrayed as evil at all.
It’s not Tom Clancy quality, I’ll grant you that. But with only mild suspension of reality, there was a good story.
I watched it. Not sure if I’ll keep recording it on my DVR. Loved Person of Interest (season 2) and Elementary (new series) on Thursday. Have also been enjoying Rake on Directv Audience channel.
I agree that a lot of things were wrong:
* The SEALs confronting the skipper of a nuclear sub on his own bridge is way off the mark.
* The idea of a US attack sub firing on a US boomer is unlikely as the skipper of the attack sub is probably friends with the skipper of the boomer. If ordered to fire on another US sub I’m thinking the skipper of the attack sub would demand confirmation of the order and then he’d contact his fellow skipper first to confirm whatever story he was being told by Washington...and then there’d be TWO submarines defying Washington.
* The 15 minute evolution time is impossible, but it sure does make the Navy look good so I won’t count this as a criticism.
* The two B-1 bombers would not attack a boomer for the simple reason that the aircrews would be questioning why they’re attacking a sub they were previously told had been sunk?
* For that matter, the country would be going nuts asking why a US sub that was supposedly sunk by the Pakistanis was not sunk but was attacked by another US sub? I’m thinking that would be enough to overthrow an Administration and not just impeach one.
* A nuke detonating 200 miles off of the Eastern seaboard would not be harmless and would probably kill a lot of people at sea in merchant ships, other Navy ships, and passenger vessels not to mention aircraft aloft near the event.
* I agree that the captain of the Colorado seems a little too eager to skip out on America and to create a new country on his island.
* The SEAL in the bar would not have had a long-winded conversation with the local ganglord and his thugs and would’ve just neutralized them as the hostiles that they were. Especially operating outside of the usual PC ROE.
Thank you.
I've noticed that even ordinary cop shows now days have the cops breaking more laws than the criminals.
I think this is what women do to the workplace - fantasy and illogic take over!
